We had a late lunch here today. Neither one of us was very hungry so I suggested some soup. I keep a couple of packages of Bear Creek Soup mixes on hand for emergencies when we need to fix something to eat fast.
I let my husband choose which kind to make today and he chose the Cheddar & Potato Soup. It cooks up in about 18 minutes, which isn't bad at all.
While this soup is easy and fast, it has its drawbacks. The dehydrated potatoes are nothing like cooking up this soup from scratch. To me fresh potatoes are so much better than dehydrated ones. However, I can live with them every now and then for a quick meal.
What did you have for lunch today?

@wolfgirl569 Yum, that sounds really good. I got up late. My husband also, but he got up before me. He had a leftover piece of cake with his coffee so I took the last piece of Cranberry-Orange Coffee Cake with my coffee. No lunch today. We will probably have an early dinner.

We had "Swiss Chicken" and a green salad and black grapes. The chicken is a leftover casserole. I made a huge pan of it, we ate it a couple of times then I froze it. I thawed it Saturday. We ate some then, some Sunday, and the rest will go in my lunches this week.

Today, I didn't want breakfast, which happens sometimes. I had homemade oatmeal with raisins for lunch. It was what sounded good. I usually don't do that.
Dehydrated potatoes are...OK...but not my favorite. I make potato soup from scratch, it doesn't take long at all, really. But I know those mixes are really quick. Kind of pricy compared to homemade, but sometimes it's hard to find time for it all, so I do get that.

Homemade soup in the winter time is one of the best meals in the world, I love it.

Soups like that are super handy, I use them also.
Sometimes I will doctor a cheddar cheese soup (Campbells) with potatoes, that is nice also.
We did not have lunch today.
We did the Breakfast with Santa thing today at 9am, and were just home by noon, and neither of us was hungry, we had so much fun doing the crafts with the twins at the event this morning, that our appetites were waiting until supper.
